Vagrant failed to properly resolve required dependencies. These
errors can commonly be caused by misconfigured plugin installations
or transient network issues. The reported error is:

Answer 1

Step 1:
brew install qemu gcc libvirt.
Step 2:
echo 'security_driver = "none"' >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
echo "dynamic_ownership = 0" >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
echo "remember_owner = 0" >> /usr/local/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
